Today’s section is about psychoanalysis. More specifically then, whether or not psychoanalysis will be in nursing care and education. The idea for this podcast came from an article on DN Debatt earlier this week, written by various psychologists and psychotherapists, with the title “Pseudoscience Thrives in Healthcare and Universities.”
In short, they believe that psychoanalysis, that is, the theories and methods of treatment developed by the Austrian physician Sigmund Freud and which still strongly relies on his ideas today, is precisely pseudoscience and therefore does not belong to attention or The education.
But then there are others who say, “Wait now! Slow down on the slopes! If we kick Freud out, we run the risk of losing ideas and valuable ideas.” Several lines have been received for this first debate article, one of which is written by the psychoanalyst Per Magnus Johansson, with the headline “Sigmund Freud’s work can still speak to us.”
So what does it really matter? Are psychoanalysis and Freud’s ideas an imaginative pseudoscience that should be rejected, or is there still something valuable about them that we risk losing if we focus too much on modern methods?
On the podcast, this is discussed with Per Magnus Johansson, licensed psychologist and psychotherapist and president of the Freudian Association, Mats Fredrikson, brain researcher and emeritus professor of clinical psychology, and Dan Katz, licensed psychologist, psychotherapist, and author.
